I Always Have To Presume That Each

What Makes Me Put Pen To Paper? You Know, That's The Million-dollar Question. I've Been Writing Since I've Been Reading. It's Not A Question I Think That's Even Meant To Be Answered, But It's Something You Always Seek To Discover The Answer To. And The Process Of Filmmaking Is One Of Discovery, And Self-discovery At That. Pleasure... It's Not Exactly What I Would Call Fun, But It's Absorbing.

I've Always Said That I Myself Am Not The Best Audience For My Own Work, Because I'm Just Not That Receptive To Comedy.

All I Mean Is, I'm Not The Kind Of Audience Comedy Directors Want At A Test Screening Because I Seldom Laugh, And If I Do, It's Not Very Loud. That Doesn't Mean I Don't Like The Movie.

I Love Working With Actors. If You Cast The Right Person In The Right Part At The Right Time, They Make You Look Like A Better Writer And Director Than You Really Are.

I Don't Have A Formula. Every Time An Actor Wants Me To Hold Their Hand, I Hold Their Hand. If They Say, "stay," I Say "okay, Respect." You Know? "i'm Right Over Here." A Kid, If I Need To Give A Line-reading, I'll Start Acting Out The Part For The Kid And Just Mimic The Kid. You Know? Whatever It Takes.
